You have to drive these cars to appreciate them. They are meant are mant to be driven. That's what they were designed for. Of course w
NO heat and NO insulation and LOTS of rain your senses are challenged. Oh did I mention no muffler either? Ear plugs are a must. #rsr #gulfblue #werksreunion

Btw-this is my third Amelia Concours and my second in a row-I have been to,Pebble Beach severAl times as well. I did not think I could be impressed, again. I was, I was wrong. What they accomplished is amazing. They shifted the Concours from Sunday to Sat-and had all the cars on the field Sat am and Judged by 7;30 am. It was a beautiful day Sat, rain/cold/cloudy Sunday.
In addition to the general Concours, there we sub themes all through the show-cars from Movies, biggest gathering of D Jags ever, the cars of Al Unser, streamlined cars, from daily driver Chrysler Airflows to a record hold Boneville streamliner, and the,significant Japanese cars and racers. Plus the auctions and the P-car Reunion....hate to have to wait another full year, but we will be there..
Make plans for it now
Next up-Atlanta Concours, fall 2017...
